Family of a South Carolina bride killed on her wedding night, allegedly by a drunken driver, was awarded a $1.3 million partial settlement, according to local media reports.
A South Carolina judge signed off on a $1.3 million partial settlement in the case of a bride who was killed, allegedly by a drunken driver, just hours after getting married, according to media reports. Jamie Lee Komoroski, 26, allegedly barreled her rental car into a golf cart carrying the victim, Samantha Miller, 34, and her new spouse Aric Hutchinson near Charleston, South Carolina, on April 28, 2023. Miller was killed in the collision and Hutchinson was badly injured.
Proceeds from the settlement will go to Miller's estate and the other injured parties, WCSC reported. The bars that served Komoroski prior to the crash and the rental car company she used will be on the hook for the seven-figure award. Hutchinson and his lawyer Danny Dalton were in court Tuesday to sign off on the settlement, which will net the parties $863,000 after fees, according to WCSC.
Other defendants have yet to reach an accord with the plaintiffs, including the restaurant where Komoroski was employed at the time of the incident. The force of impact sent the doomed golf cart flying 100 feet, flipping it over several times before it came to a stop. If convicted, Komoroski faces a minimum of one year in prison and maximum term of 25 years on the top count.
